stones to which my attention has of late

of one kind or another, the emerald and

common and precious beryls. The lat
ter are never found in sufficient quanti-
ty to lesson their gem value, and have
never seen one larger than six or eight
carats. The Golden Beryls, of which l
was speaking, arc of the latter class and
are native product, coming from a
mine recently discovered in the Berk-
shire Hills in Connecticut. In this, as
i'm most instances, they arc by-product
of mica deposits. These are by far the

In hardness they rank MS eight, with

A Large Accumulation of Treasure.

The United States Treasury to-day is a
vast bank in metallic money and money
metals. Probably it has the greatest hoard
of the precious metals, coined or uncoined,
anywhere on the face of the earth-and
this is not all gathered in one place. On
the LIST of July the Treasury of the United
States had S27S, 900 in gold, 49,. 00O.-
900 being in bars, and S2l5, 900 of sill
yer, of which less than 100000 was un-
coined. The amount of Treasury notes
on hand was less than S30,000000. The
Secretary of the Treasury has been able
to carry gold bars to keep down the
amount of cash taken from the monetary
circulation to the lowest limit. 1t is
amazing when We think OF the monetary
condition of the country forty years ago,
when the supply of both metals was very
small thirty years ago, when money as
good Is gold was unknown between Penn
sylyanle and California, and twenty wears
ago, when this side of the Rocky mount
aims net silver piece was visible, and
gold was the center of vast daily specu-
lation, in which the Treasury notes passed
current at Sc cents on the dollar or less.
1t is amazing il view of the fact that to-
day our National Treasury is vast

THE RICHEST MAS-In speaking of the
wealth Of some of the ancients, writes a
correspondent of the New Orleans Times
Democrat, you class Tiberius as the wealth
lest, Sis, $4,000, and give that of Croesus,
the Lydian, at about $S,000,0OO. You have
not mentioned one Weather than them
all, who was Pythius, son of Atty, the
Lydian, who possessed in silver and gold
together S24,516,000, which, added to his
possession of land and slaves at proper
tionate value, would swell his wealth to
about S500,000,O00 mean his gold at
the Doric value of So %. If seckoned at
the value of the slater siebus it would give
him in coin Sc, 036, 900, and with slaves and
lands in proportion, wealth of over $780,
100000. This man Pythius, without touch
ing his silver or gold, entertained at the
city of Celane the army of Xerxes, over
100000 strong, in his invasion of
Greece, and on previous occasion made
King Darius, Xerxes' father, magnificent
present. gold plane tree and vine. This
Pythius, then, was the wealthiest man in
the world, and it is doubtful if there has
been any one, before or since, to equal him.
